Three Storylines

Top-ranked
Chino Hills (Calif.) tied a state scoring record and inched closer to its first
National Prep Poll title. The Wolves clobbered Immanuel (Reedley), 103-71, in
round one of the California Open Division state tournament. It’s the 18th
time Chino Hills hit the century mark in scoring this season – matching a feat
by Balboa (San Francisco) 20 years ago. Next up for the Wolves is its third
meeting against No. 22 Foothills Christian (El Cajon).

No.
4 St. Anthony (N.J.) was one of four Top 25 teams that captured state
championships over the weekend. The Friars defeated regionally ranked Roselle Catholic, 53-37, in the Non-Public Group B final, ending a run of three
straight losses against the Lions in the postseason. It was St. Anthony’s 28th
state crown since Bob Hurley arrived in 1972.

Top
Three Risers

1.
DeSoto (Texas)

2.
Jefferson (N.Y.)

3.
Westfield (Va.)

Top
Three Feats

DeLaSalle
(Minneapolis) became the first Minnesota team ever to win five consecutive
state championships. The Islanders thumped Fergus Falls, 79-65, for the Class
3A crown at the Target Center.

Regionally
ranked Jefferson (Brooklyn) broke an over 60-year draught by winning the New
York City Public School Athletic League tournament crown. The Orange Wave
rolled to its first title since 1954, drubbing Brooklyn rival Lincoln, 90-61,
at Madison Square Garden.

Regionally ranked Westfield (Va.) whipped Oscar Smith, 74-56, to earn its first state
basketball championship. The matchup was a quasi-rematch of the Class 6A
football championship – also won by Westfield – a little less than three months
earlier. The last time the same teams met for both the football and boys
basketball state finals in Virginia was 1921. And Westfield is the first team
to win both titles in the two sports in the same year since 1988-89.

About
the PrepNation National Prep Poll

The
PrepNation National Prep Poll is a continuation of World Feature Syndicate’s
National Prep Poll, which was published and distributed to the Associated Press
and other news organizations from 1987 to 2015.

The
National Prep Poll is second only to the USA Today Super 25 as the longest
continually published weekly high school rankings. While a product of World
Features Syndicate (1987-2015), the National Prep Poll was the only high school
poll distributed to newspapers and websites around the United States by the
Associated Press.

Before
authoring rankings for Student Sports and ESPN, National High School Sports
Hall of Fame journalist Doug Huff compiled the National Prep Poll rankings from
1987 until 1999. Current author Jamie DeMoney has compiled the poll since the
start of the 1999 basketball season to the present.

Among
the criteria used in the weekly compilation of the National Prep Poll rankings
are strength of schedule, the ability to accomplish the ultimate goal on a
team's schedule (i.e. winning a championship), impact players and performers, a
team's coaching and recent tradition.
